You couldnt just leave well enough alone, could you? So many of you had to go and tinker with your phones that Google had no choice but to give in and approve an Android phone that runs Cyanogenmod out of the box.
I kid, of course, about Googles hand being forced. Theyve never been too strict about locking down their stuff, so when the Cyanogenmod team sought out Googles blessing to be able to sell a phone with their application pre-installed, Google said yes.
The phone isnt new. Its just the Oppo N1, a high-end Chinese-made phone, and while it isnt a terrible phone, its cheaper (and probably preferable) to just pick up a phone you actually want and install Cyanogenmod yourself. Regardless, the fact that Google approved this is pretty awesome.
If you are interested in the Oppo N1 with Cyanogenmod, it goes on sale December 24.
